Chapter 32: Fate? Helping someone to achieve success part 2
He looked to be very refined and cultured. However, he was fully clothed with a coquettish red, and he also wore a mask, making him look mysterious. In her heart, he was a big unscrupulous business man.
Could it be that he was scamming her because he knew her ident.i.ty? Although she was the Qi Princess, and she didn’t have to worry about food or clothing since she didn’t have the power to touch the Qi King’s Manor’s money.
Right now, other than her dowry, Long Xiao Yu hadn’t given her any money at all. After she bought the shop, she would be very poor.
Ye Zi Mu saw Mu Zi Ling look at him doubtfully and laughed while saying, “What does Young Sir think about the deal? This land is the best piece of land in the whole of the Imperial City of the Jia Luo Kingdom. I am only willing to sell this to you, because I think fate brought us together. Even if it was the Fifth or Sixth Prince, and they offered a price way more than five hundred thousand, I still wouldn’t agree to sell a shop.
Mu Zi Ling silently cursed in her heart. I don"t think this is a good deal! You might as well go steal a piece of land!
Five hundred thousand gold coins! All of her dowry put together was probably only worth three hundred thousand gold coins.
However, Long Xiao Ze and his brothers were rich Princes. If what he said was true and he refused to sell the shop when they tried to buy it, maybe he wasn’t trying to scam her. Should she think about this deal? However, where would she get all this money from?
“Make it a bit cheaper, then I might consider it,” Mu Zi Ling thought about it for a while, and she still decided to buy it.
The shops here attracted a lot of people. In the future she could definitely make a lot of money with that shop. She would just have to think about how to get money to buy the store first.
“Young Sir, at the most this one can only make it fifty thousand gold coins cheaper. If this one goes any lower than that then this one would agreeing too much of a loss.”
As Ye Zi Mu said this, he made it seem like he had already taken a great loss.
“Alright,” agreed Mu Zi Ling, but she was still not quite satisfied with her small gains, and softly said, “Can I pay the money by installments?” If she could pay the money in increments, then she could open the store first and slowly pay the money back.
“Young Sir, we have a fair deal. One hand gives the money while another hand gives the shop,” Ye Zi Mu seemed to have already confirmed that Mu Zi Ling would buy the shop, and he said this showing no emotions.
Mu Zi Ling secretly rolled her eyes. Hmph! What do you mean by fair deal! It was only an installment! Was he worried about her running away from it?!
Moments later, she gritted down on her teeth and said, “Alright. Give me a few days to prepare the money. After that I will come over and finalize the deal.”
“Young Sir, just sign your signature and leave a fingerprint here. When you get the money, turn the gold into banknotes. Then you can give the banknote to the Night Rain restaurant’s shopkeeper, so he can give you the shop.”
As Ye Zi Mu was saying this, he took out two agreement contracts and placed them on the table.
As it turned, out he had already prepared everything. He must’ve known from the start that she would buy the shop.
Mu Zi Ling looked through the agreement. Every line and paragraph were written clearly, and there didn’t seem to be any problems.
Then she took out a charcoal pen from her sleeves and signed her name, “Mu Zi Ling” on both papers. This person already knew her ident.i.ty anyways, but he didn"t want to expose her, so she didn’t have any reason to sign another name.
After signing her name, she secretly took out a silver needle. Then she turned towards Ye Zi Mu and said seriously, “Boss Ye, can you reach out your hand over real quick?”
Ye Zi Mu was a bit confused, but he still reached his hand towards her.
Mu Zi Ling grabbed Ye Zi Mu’s hand and quickly p.r.i.c.ked his finger tips furiously three times.
Then she squeezed out some blood and rubbed it on her thumb. After that, she made a fingerprint on both papers.
That movement went very smoothly. After Ye Zi Mu reached out his hands, he didn’t even have the power to refuse it.
After Mu Zi Ling was finished with everything, she laughed while saying, “Haha. There was no red ink here, so I borrowed your hand real quick. I hope that you didn’t mind. You have to press a finger print too, so this will be convenient. We can save resources this way.”
She refused to tell this unscrupulous businessman that she did it on purpose, purposely act first, then report later.
Ye Zi Mu looked at the ghostly, crafty Mu Zi Ling. Then he looked at the finger tip that was still bleeding and helplessly laughed.
Then he also picked up the charcoal pen and signed his name. After that he used the blood from his finger tips and pressed it on both papers.
He picked up one of the agreements and gave the other one to Mu Zi Ling. Then he gave her an enchanting smile, “It was a pleasure dealing with you.”
Mu Zi Ling grabbed the agreement. Then she let out a fake smile, “It was a pleasure dealing with you too.”
She wasn’t a bit happy about this, ok? In just a moment, she had turned into a poor wretch. Her dowry might not even be enough to cover the costs.
She would still have to think up a way to get more money. Thank goodness she didn’t have to save up money to buy medical ingredients. The Stellar System had then all ready for her to use. With it, she had already saved a lot of money and work.

The sun had already started to fall.
Mu Zi Ling came out of the Night Rain restaurant, and found Long Xiao Ze holding on to his full belly. He seemed like he was full.
She forgot about him.If Long Xiao Ze saw that the horse carriage hadn’t left, then he would naturally know that she had not gone back yet. Was he waiting for her?
Mu Zi Ling felt gloomy, but she still walked over
When Long Xiao Ze saw Mu Zi Ling walking over, his spirits suddenly rose. Then he showered his affection towards the uninterested party while saying, “Third Sister in law, I knew you wouldn’t just leave me behind and get me to walk home myself. You even waited for me to finish eating!”
‘I didn’t wait for you. I went to see the boss of Night Rain restaurant. I just successfully bought a shop from him.” said Mu Zi Ling, not hesitating at the slightest to destroy Long Xiao Ze’s imaginings.
However, Long Xiao Ze didn’t mind Mu Zi Ling saying that she didn’t wait for him. He was startled by her second half of the sentence.
“What?! Third Sister in law, what method did you use to get that mysterious boss to sell you the shop? Once, although me and Fifth Brother spoke to him nicely, that boss didn’t even see us. However, you could meet him just by walking out?!?! I want to worship you more and more now!”
Mu Zi Ling looked at Long Xiao Ze"s face, full with admiration. Then she got a bit proud of herself and said, “He was the one who invited me. Then without saying a second word, we signed the agreement.”
When Long Xiao Ze heard Mu ZI Ling’s words, his face was full with disbelief, “That is impossible. Third Sister in law, you must’ve done something. Just tell me what you did.”
